I am delighted to see this bill and am deeply
grateful to the Government for introducing it and to all those
who have worked to bring it about. I have lived contentedly as
a woman for several years now, and all that is lacking is my full
legal status as such. There is a feeling of being not quite complete,
of being vulnerable. The bill will provide that legal security
which currently I do not have, and then transition will be complete.

The bill is simple, sensible and to the point.
The evidence required is both necessary and reasonable, and hopefully
the process will be easy and not unduly protracted.

I wish the bill a smooth and untroubled passage
through Parliament and hope that it rapidly becomes law.
